When I put an address into the URL the I get a gambling website instead. How do I keep this from happening?

When I put in "Kelloggsfamilyrewards.com" a sweepstakes website pops up instead. This doesn't allow me to do what I need to at the Kelloggs website.
Thanks,

You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

    When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes.  It also cancels/deletes that run/workout.  This has happened several times.  How can I keep this from happening?

    If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
    Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

  • When I do a search (for anything), the browser redirects me to a new page, usually an advertisement. How do I keep this from happening?

    My home page opens just fine. When I type a search topic in the search box, it goes to the list of possible websites. But when I click on any of those choices, the browser is automatically redirecting my to a different page (usually an advertisement). How do I keep this from happening any more? I am extremely frustrated...

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

    Mine doesn't show anything in the CSS Designer panel when I make a selection in Code Vew. It will only pop up the css set for a given element if I select that element in Design View first. If I drill down using the Sources and Selectors sub windows in the CSS Designer panel itself, it works the same in both. I pretty much never use it, but it doesn't do what you're explaining in my version of DWCC, so I'd guess you may have some slight corruption in the program.
    Unless, does it make a difference if you have Live View turned on or not?
    You could try clearing the program cache/personal config folder: Deleting a corrupted cache file
    Or restoring preferences if the cache doesn't do the trick: Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html

    Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time. Wait.
    When Force Quit window appears, select the Safari if not already.
    Press Force Quit button at the bottom of the window.   Wait.
    Safari will quit.
    Relaunch Safari holding the shift key down.

    My child accidentally rented a movie on Apple TV.  Is there a way to refund the rental if we don't watch it?

    Did you try Parental Controls?

    See if that does the trick: I think there's a way for you to request a password for purchases, but still be logged in.

  • When I am using the browser for a while and try to use ANY search bar and hit the "search" button it does a whopping NOTHING is there anyway of keeping this from happening?

    Whenever I am using Firefox mobile - either regular, beta or aurora and go to search for something like through the Google search page and attempt to search for something the search bar does nothing and hitting the enter button instead doesn't do anything either. Is there a way to keep this from happening?

    Hi and thanks to not leaving the firefox user alone.
    Cor-el your answer is right as the madperson is and I already knew all these
    answer and I said that before I don’t use any antivirus and I always turn off my firewall from the moment I installed my Windows.
    I even turn off any automatic update for any of my software and I never let any unknown plugins or any thing like that be install without informing me. And if you know some things like Offline Storage and cookies must be to much more than usual and you have to clear them and delete them and I know so much more
    And if you want to know it fixed now. But I don’t know how?
    For understanding my problem read and research about Ixplorer.exe virus it is the same problem about the speed but the different is it doesn’t show any process in task manager like Ixplorer.exe virus
    Bt I have done some things but still I don’t know that’s why it is fixed or not
    First: I searched my system and removed any files have been crated on my system from two days ago since the problem happened.
    And then I used to go about the article in this page and did like this:
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080910101846AAazxN5
    but still I don’t know any thing about the problem.
    I can do so many things to fix but I am just curios if that is a virus why it just cut the speed when I am using the browser.
    Please if any one found the reason send me your information I like to know it will improve my knowledge however my problem is solved fro now.

  • HT201210 This is the second time my iphone has had to restore, how can I stop this from happening?

    My phone completely freezes and I get the itunes update icon.  Can I change a setting on my phone to stop this from happening as I am unable to use my phone at all when it does this and sometimes when I have gone to update I just keep getting error messages.

    There is no setting to stop this from happening, which means there is a major problem with your iPhone and the reason you can't use your iPhone at the time.
    If you restored from your iPhone's backup, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup. If this occurs again shortly thereafter, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • I just downloaded the latest software OS X on my mac book pro, now whenever I start my computer I have to wait for windows mac to open up.  The open at login is not even checked.  How can I stop this from happening?

    I have a Mac Book Pro and downloaded the latest software OS X.  Now whenever I start my computer, I have to wait for Windows Mac to do its thing.  I checked and the "open at login" option is not checked.  How can I turn this feature off?  It's driving me nuts!!

    All fixed Barry.  When I went to restart my computer, the question was right there.  Do you want to open Windows when opening.  NOPE!!
    I tried it a few times and thank goodness it worked.  Thank you for your help today.
    Best,

  • Files turn into aliases.  how do I keep this from happening?

    I am trying to transfer files from my old mac laptop onto the new macbook air.  Many of the files spontaneously become aliases that can't be read on teh new computer.  Have tried memory stick and drop box.  Either way, file gets screwedup when it reaches new computer. 

    Hold down the option key while dragging.

  • Today when I opened a new tab instead of a blank page (I set this up), it opened with a search engine. I think it was bing. How do I keep this from happening?

    I want the settings I've set to remain. Lately, the search engine also changes from google to other ones. The other day it was Amazon. It's very frustrating when this happens. I'd like to know how to "freeze" the current settings so they can't be changed unless I want them to. It's very scary to think that somehow my settings change without my knowledge.

    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

  • My selector panel collapses with every change or adjustment - even when I have the element choosen in the code - how do I keep this from happening?

    I first choose the relevant source in the code and then open it in the Selector panel area of the CSS Designer.  But once I attempt to make changes the Selector panel collapses and goes blank after the first change.  Then I have to reselect the appropriate source in the Sources panel, reselect in the Selectors panel and make another change. And so on...  What am I doing wrong?

    Mine doesn't show anything in the CSS Designer panel when I make a selection in Code Vew. It will only pop up the css set for a given element if I select that element in Design View first. If I drill down using the Sources and Selectors sub windows in the CSS Designer panel itself, it works the same in both.
